Upcomming Webinar on ABAP Enhancement Framework:

Next Thursday, January 22nd, my colleague Oliver Mayer and myself will host a free webinar on the usage of the ABAP Enhancement Framework. We will actually cover a little bit on the history of all the enhancement technologies in ABAP as well as talk about how the Enhancement Framework is used in the Business Suite Ehancement Packages.

More importantly, we will go beyond past demos and learning materials on the Ehancement Framework. In the past we have mostly seen the source code enhancements or maybe the class pre and post method enhancements. In this session we also want to show you how to get the full power out of the Enhancement Framework for your own applications. We will demonstrate how to implement kernel badis (with filters) and how to attach any enhancement to a switch. We will also look at the process for creating switches, attaching them to business functions and how to activate and deactivate switches.

I’ve just added this video that previews the application that many of the Enterprise Geeks will be building during the SDN Day Mentors’ Hands-On Workshop. It showcases some of the new capabilities of Web Dynpro ABAP - like AJAX, Drag and Drop, Floorplan Manager and Islands. I will post more details on both the SDN Day Mentors’ Hands-On Workshop and on the new Web Dynpro Stuff a little bit later.

Screens of New Xbox Experience, Avatars, Netflix, et al - Joystiq:

Ok, I realize this isn’t exactly “Enterprise” Geeky - but I got really excited about it all the same. Say what you will about Microsoft and Vista, yet somehow the same company that is screwing the pooch so badly on the OS front is kicking ass when it comes to their Xbox division.

Somehow they seem to be able to add new features while not alienating their core audience of gamers (unlike some people - cough, cough - Nintendo). But the NetFlix partnership seems the most impressive. Personally I had used NetFlix from very early on. Lately I had suspended my subscription simply because I had gotten in the bad habit of letting the DVDs lay around my office for far too long. But being able to stream even older catalog titles over my Xbox 360 is just enough incentive to get back using NetFlix. Heck even though the update to support NetFlix on the 360 doesn’t come out until this Fall, I went ahead and reactived my account yesterday after first hearing the news.
